An ultra-compact concentric catadioptric imaging spectrometer with large relative aperture and long slit is proposed. It consists of three optical components integrated monolithically in a concentric layout. Its astigmatism theory is discussed through tracing its chief ray and its athermalization is realized by optimizing lens materials. A high-speed (F/2.25) long-slit (48mm) VNIR design with high imaging quality and small distortions is presented. Results show a 10× reduction in volume than classic designs based on Offner-Chrisp configuration and a 1.9× reduction in length than Dyson configuration. Moreover, the design shows superior thermal adaptability with negligible decline in imaging quality while operating temperature changes between -30 ℃ and 70 ℃.
